Joe Diffie - Down In A Ditch lyrics

I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch

When you're down in a ditch it's a sun of a gun

Any fool knows you'll never get rich

When you're down in a ditch

In the Tennessee sun

All I got to show is blisters and sweat

Blisters and sweat and minimum pay

I'm just tryin' to get out of debt

And buddy I bet you I make it someday

Well I wish I was the man with the clipboard

Sittin' in the shade with an RC cola

Makin calls on the cellular phone

And yellin' down at me to keep my butt movin'

I'm runnin' this shovel way down in a ditch

When you're down in a ditch it's a sun of a gun

Any fool knows you'll never get rich

When you're down in a ditch

In the Tennessee sun

Someday you'll see me workin' that clipboard

Sittin' in the cab of a cool Silverado

Tuned in to a country station

Rollin' down the window just to holler out orders

To the fool with the shovel way down in a ditch

When you're down in a ditch it's a son of a gun

Everybody knows you'll never get rich

Workin' down in a ditch in the Tennessee sun
